I totally agree, but the problem is, how do you "police" that? Say I am a racist bastard, and I own a company, and there are no affirmative action laws...I will just hire all white guys and say that "sadly, every black man we interviewed was not qualified".

So? If people perceive you as obviously racist, they'll take their business elsewhere and you'll suffer for the choice you made. Government intervention here is stupid and counterproductive.

This ensures they have a chance of getting the same jobs that white people do, without being discriminated against because of their race.

Yep, the only people who need fear about being discriminated against because of their race are white people.

Yes, I agree its sad and stupid that we have to have such a law just for human beings to treat each other equally, but as I keep saying, such is the nature of the human race, and laws like this will continue until we evolve into a more civilized race instead of the hate-mongers that we are now.

And the more racial tension caused by ridiculous, counterproductive and hypocritical laws like this, the longer that'll take.

I also object to the generalisation that we're all hate-mongers. I dislike racism, but I reject the idea that it's a crime. If you don't wanna hire a black person, I won't try to force you to, I'll just buy whatever the fuck you sell from somewhere else.
